Alpine Veterinary Hospital

The stuff there is most caring I've ever encountered. When we all of a sudden discovered that are cat had kidney failure and there was no hope, the stuff comforted us send condolence letters and did everything they could to help us give him as easy of an end experience as possible. It was obvious that they love the animals that they care for as well as the people who bring the animals in. Highly recommended! Read Less

Alpine is absolutely amazing. My 8 year old daughters bunny passed away, and they were so kind and compassionate. On top of being fast and affordable. We are very happy with every thing we had done there. And the paw print with her bunnies name was perfect. Exactly what she needed. We will definately be using Alpine from here on out for our Veterinary services!! 💜💜 Read Less

I woke up to pretty much what anyone would call "the worst day", stressed and high strung until I dropped of my loved one off here... They made me and my girlfriend feel very welcome, no stress, very understanding of our passed away family member, this is a place a would highly recommend Read Less

I used to go to dr. Sharky but since she's left I'm going to the other vet in the office. They are so accommodating and you can tell they really care. I'm tight on funds and they are always willing to work with me, I will always bring my pets here and always recommend them to others, it is a great clinic! Read Less

Update to your response. I fill human prescription across state lines on a regular basis so why would it be any different for animals. You better report Walgreens because they've been doing this for years! I wasn't rude to the receptionist. She told me it won't be a problem to fax the prescription. She then called me back to tell me you said No. I told her I knew it was not her making this decision but that there was no good reason and that I would be sharing my expedience on social media. My new vet was so disgusted by your disregard for my 20+ year old cat's stress that she didn't even charge me for the office visit I had to make since you won't fax a FOOD prescription. She was baffled by your refusal to fax a food prescription. Couldn't be more disappointed. This vet does not have an animal's best interest in mind only money. My cat needs a special food so she can potty without struggling. She is healthy otherwise and completely indoors so not at risk of exposure to diseases or parasites. You need a prescription for this food. Yes food not medicine just food. I brought her in and paid for a visit despite her being healthy other wise so I could purchase food. That's $48 for a visit and $40.80 for a 8.8 lb bag of Royal Canin. So that is $88 for 9 lbs of food plus tax. I now need more food and live in a different state. A local veterinarian won't sell me the food without a prescription and said I could get the last vet to fax a copy to them. They said it didn't matter that the vet was out of state that they do it all the time-- receive and send from other states. Alpine won't send it saying they can't prescribe out of state. Not true! It is not medicine even. It's just FOOD! This is not right. Now I have take my +20 year old cat an hour away to a vet who carries this food. We will have to pay another $49 for an office visit with them and they are going to poke and prod her and she doesn't need all that just to have more food. I can't believe a vet could be so uncaring and not do something that is possible to save stress on an aging cat.Read Less

She wrote me a prescription and assured me she would update it anytime and anywhere I was with my cat. That's a vet who cares.I wish I had read the reviews on here before I saw Clark at Alpine. She was rude through the whole office visit for my dog and cat. She acted like I was wasting her precious time and still only spent about 5 minutes with me for 2 animals and 2 office visit charges plus food plus a year's worth of heartworm medicine for my dog and a year's worth of flea medicine for the dog. She needs a career change. Read Less

Alpine vet is amazing! My lab had some how broken her nail late friday night and needed to see a vet ASAP! Thankfully Alpine vet was open on a saturday and willing to see her! The staff was very friendly and welcoming as we had never been there before. The vet explained everything that needed to be done and took care of her right away! I would recommend Alpine vet to anyone who is looking for a great vet that takes wonderful care of their patients!! Read Less

Alpine takes advantage of its clients by insisting on unnecessary visits and tests. They are crooks. The vets do not take the time to relay information, rather the vet techs call and have to constantly put you on hold while they seek out answers from the vet. I wish I could give ZERO stars. Here is a snippet of our issues with Alpine: My girlfriend and I adopted a kitten from the Humane Society. We took her to Alpine for the 1 week checkup because she started developing a patch of missing fur on her shoulder. The vet suggested it could be due to stress. I asked if it wasn't stress what it could be. They suggested ringworm and they could run a test. They ran the test, but it was compromised and they couldn't tell if it was ringworm or not. The patch became worse and they said I could use a spray to fight the ringworm (if it were ringworm). Not a huge expense, but the vet bills were adding up. We tried the fungal spray for a week, but the patch was getting even worse. I called the vet (mind you I never actually got to speak with a vet, only a vet tech) and they said it could be a bacterial infection. I asked how to treat it, the tech had to run and ask the vet, then get back to me. They insisted I bring our kitten in so they can run more tests. I did not want to spend another $50 on a visit, plus whatever other medication they prescribed which wouldn't work. We decided to take her to Raintree Animal Hospital in Fort Collins, a bit of a drive, but the care was exceptional. The veterinarian spent time with us and presented every chance to us. Instead of constantly running tests and prescribing medication that treats only one ailment, we were given a cream that would fight off fungus and bacterial infections. If that didn't work, it would leave only mites as the cause of the skin issue. We spent over $200 at Alpine and got NO answers, only insistence on bringing the kitten in over and over again to rack up vet visit bills and useless tests. We spent a fraction of that at Raintree and it fought off nearly all of the possibilities of infection. The vets at Alpine do not present you with information. If it weren't for my constant asking of questions I wouldn't have gotten even an ounce of information out of them. They insist on unnecessary tests and visits to try to get as much money from you as they can. Read Less

Amazing, caring staff!! Everyone there is so kind and compassionate and everyone is always conscious of the expense portion for each persons situation. I have been on the receiving end and have observed this in the waiting room. Our dog is getting K-laser and adequan which are really helping him and when he was gimpy at our boarding place recently the staff at Alpine made sure he was OK and kept him until we got there to pick him up. Dr. Liz met us personally when we picked him up. Our kitties love the staff and get just the best care. We are moving soon out of state and literally just know that we will never find any place like this again!! We cherish them!! Great, great work and dedication and it shows!! Read Less

I wish that I could recommend Alpine. My husband took our chocolate lab in days after our son was born after we noticed a small bump on his head. They put him on antibiotics and did a biopsy which revealed a benign tumor. A month later, we returned as the bump was growing. We went in with the understanding that they would try to remove it. Again, another $400 biopsy. A couple days before Christmas we learned the diagnosis was terminal. Our hearts were broken for our dog, but devastated that Alpine treated our dog minimally. We wish they would have given him steroids or helped him more with pain management, but instead, we felt Alpine was out after our money and not as interested in caring for our dog. After almost $1000 spent and really only a diagnosis, Alpine encouraged us to go to CSU as there was nothing more they could do for us. After this experience, we will not be returning.Read Less

Always so compassionate with my dog and even when he was stolen and I took my new dog there they asked about him and genuinely cared about what happened and about our new puppies well being, wonderful place. Read Less

I love this place. They break things down to where I understand it and don't get upset if I need things repeated or broken down more. This place is great with animals and people and does their best to help with getting things to where there disabled community understands what is going on. I thank them graciously for working with me. Read Less

This vet tried to tell me that I was unfit to take care of my dog when I came in with a very sick dog, not knowing what was wrong with the poor lil guy and looking for professional help (my dogs eat premium food, get groomed regularly, and get so much love they're basically giant teddy bears). "Dr" Liz is easily one of the least personable people I've ever met and degrades her clients. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR DOG Read Less

Called to schedule an appointment. Receptionist knew next to nothing and couldn't even give the correct name of the FVRCP vaccine. It's a shame your receptionist can't tell a potential client if your clinic uses non-adjuvented vaccines on your feline patients. Lost a potential life long client who would go to the ends of the earth for her pets. Your business should put more training into your staff to avoid such issues. I'll continue my search for a trustworthy, knowledgable vet... Read Less

I have to say this is the worst clinic that  I have been to.  Dr Liz Clark is the rudest vet that I ever had to deal with.   She is very confrontational and does not have any customer service skills at all.   As far as I'm concerned she misdiagnose my dog and make the situation even worse with her. After I got a second opinion,  The new veterinarian actually listen to my concerns, and she went with a whole different treatment. I have to say that my little dog is cured of her problem.   No thanks to Dr. Clark who just aggravated her condition.  This is too bad because I think Dr. Clark took over the clinic last July and this used to be a very good clinic to go to.

I went with an older friend of mine to take her dog in to see Dr.Liz Clark. The place was filthy and smelled horrible. After waiting we were taken into an exam room. Dr. Clark was very rude she had absolutely no customer service skills. Dr.Clark did not like being asked questions and acted very irrate when she would reply. I will never suggest this Vet to anyone.  By the time we left the friend was in tears due to Dr.Clarks indicent responses and uncaring attitude. Read Less

I felt compelled to post since when looking up the phone number to give these folks a call, the only review that appeared is "J.O."s review which I find difficult, if not entirely impossible, to believe. My wife and I added a dog to our family nearly 2 years ago and, at my in-laws recommendation due to the many years they've taken their dogs there and boasted of exemplary care, we elected to use Alpine as our veterinary clinic. 2 years and another dog later, I couldn't imagine taking my pets anywhere else.The vets are people that obviously love animals and prioritize giving them the best care possible. The experience has always reflected that our dogs are like family to Dr. Liz and Dr. Sharkey. They are known by name and have been treated with love and compassion with each visit. I couldn't say enough good things about this facility and feel very fortunate to have a great veterinary clinic so close to home, particularly when hearing the occasional horror stories from friends and colleagues that can't say the same for their veterinary clinics. If you're in the Greeley area, I highly recommend giving Alpine Veterinary Hospital a chance for your pets' needs. Read Less

Yes, this is a great Vet! My wife and I have recently moved out of Greeley, and let me tell you, we cannot find a Vet of this quality anywhere. The prices are also reasonable, which is a huge bonus. We have taken our 3 dogs to 5-6 different Vets over the years, and the quality of care here is so far above and beyond any of the others. The Vet techs, in addition to the Veterinarian, are very knowledgeable, compassionate and genuinely interested in the well being of your pet. My wife and I started to take our dogs here while we in college, so it's very affordable.With our recent move to the Denver metro area, most Vets that we've come across seem to be more interested in making money than providing quality care. As a small business owner, I don't mind when a business attempts to make a profit. You won't be disappointed with the value and quality of care this Vet provides. Read Less
